Know before you buy
These keycaps are compatible with most mechanical keyboards that use Cherry MX-style switches. Because they feature a standard cross-shaped stem, they will fit the vast majority of custom and pre-built boards on the market.
The OEM profile is the industry standard for most pre-built mechanical keyboards. It offers a sculpted, ergonomic shape that is generally comfortable for both long typing sessions and gaming, making it a familiar and easy transition for most users.
No, these keycaps are not shine-through. The double-shot PBT construction is solid, meaning the legends will not allow light to pass through them.
Yes, this 197-key set is designed for broad compatibility. It includes specific modifiers for ISO layouts and Mac-specific keys, allowing you to cover most non-standard bottom rows and regional configurations.
PBT plastic is significantly more durable than the standard ABS plastic found on many stock keyboards. It is highly resistant to the oily shine that develops on keycaps after heavy use, ensuring they maintain their matte texture and appearance for years.
